The Goat Pen

How's the gal who had the mental breakdown doing?

funny you should ask, she got some help, family intervened and told her to quit talking crazy, and she ended up doing very well with her final assignment. I told her I was proud of her. Clearly she has issues but hopefully with help she won't ever lose touch with reality again - or what I suspect is she knows what she is thinking isn't normal and will continually fight to avoid having those intrusive thoughts.

Wow, before long AI will be "deciding" elections. Seriously, do you think that's something AI could do? Who would be able to prove or disprove it? Talk about something that half the people, i.e., the losing side, would be all in on and the other side would be like "no way!" I don't think AI would care either way, for AI it would just be fooling around a little bit. AI humor. I wonder if aTm's ChatGPT could explain that joke and why AI would think it's funny...

yea I guess it could.

I think transparency is the way to solve election issues. First , I believe in online voting.

Everyone is assigned an ID. You go into the voting app or the local voting machine and vote. Its gives you a pdf file of your voting summary and a time stamp of when you voted - and once you vote with your ID, then there is a database anyone can access to see how their vote was registered. Anyone could download the results of the vote and do their own analysis. You don't get a voting ID unless you are a U.S. citizen and the government assigns them similar to SSN numbers.

So you are concerned your vote was changed or wasn't counted - we have an online database where you can look up your ID and if its not what you think it should be, then you can dispute it. Then there is an audit trail that shows when your vote was cast with your voting summary and time stamp.

Election voting totals would be in a matter of hours after the polls close, give everyone 2 weeks to certify their votes and the election - and any tampering would be difficult because a person can go look up their individual vote as part of the overall voting totals.

Couldn't AI just fuck with you when you checked to see if your vote was changed or wasn't counted? AI knows how you voted, of course it's going to tell you it wasn't changed and was counted. Hahahahahaaa!!

aTm, ask ChatGPT if AI could rig an election. Wouldn't it be hilarious if it said "I already did!"
